Back in the season we scored a penalty every other game I remember Dave Jones saying that tactically they had been focussing on getting plenty of bodies into the box during attacks, which would probably help to explain that.
It is rare though that post match interviews in this country at least give any insight into the tactical approach that the team were trying to implement.
To be fair to Pilks, he's shut me up - I thought he was ineffective until his new central striking role and he was involved with all the chances yesterday, his energy levels are also very impressive
Agree with you about the substitutions. Sometimes I wonder whether Slade thinks that making changes is compulsory. I didn't see any need to make changes at all yesterday. The Dikcagoi one confused me but anyway, but after that, when you've just conceded and the opposition are on the front foot in the four added minutes, surely it would be better to stick with who is on the pitch and keep your shape.
I thought both pens were definite pens the first was up the other end to me but not 1 PNE player questioned the decision.
The second one I was right in-line with and it was a great decision by the linesman.
What annoyed me was why did n`t the ref at least book the players that did the fouls and on the second 1 the player should have seen a straight red.
Exactly what we were saying, the team had shape and all knew their roles, all of a sudden subs are thrown on creating a bit of confusion in the ranks, players getting in each other's way, Ameobi just running aimlessly across the pitch making an utter dope of himself. Pilks did take a bump prior to the second pen but why wasn't he replaced like for like allowing us to carry on as beforeOriginally Posted by Barry Shitpeas wrote on Sun, 28 February 2016 11:04
The substitutions made by Slade was spot on. Playing 3 games in a week is bound to take it's toll on players. If Slade had swapped Pilks for Macheda people would have gone ape. The bloke can't win.
I think the last 2 subs were to waste a bit of time at the end of the match. But in general it is hard to remember when our subs have turned a game in our favour recently. As this graphic may suggest.
So what exactly was the point in bringing Zohore and Ameobi on in the 94th minute?
The referee adds time on for substitutions, as he did yesterday meaning we had to defend for an extra two minutes.Agree with you about the substitutions.

Well done to Slade for seeing the game out.The substitutions made by Slade was spot on. Playing 3 games in a week is bound to take it's toll on players. If Slade had swapped Pilks for Macheda people would have gone ape. The bloke can't win.
To break the game up. What does that even mean? To

Who mentioned Macheda? Zohore and Saadi were on the bench, he sent on Dikagchoi (sp) to shore things up I suppose, but he didn't, they scored and if the game had of gone on for a few more minutes I think we all know what the outcome would have been. I think Saadi at least would have been an outlet to run the ball to the corner flag, as a lot of teams who are in a slender lead do, the way we were set up towards the end that scenario was never going to happen, in fact we invited them on to us......potential suicide with City, we've seen it all before.
Slow the game down and not let them build up ahead of steam.
Looked like they did build up a head of steam to me, helped by the rearrangement of our formation. Still it is a welcome thing on a Sunday morning for us to be dissecting a vital victory rather than a defeat or the horrors of as last gasp equaliserTo break the game up. What does that even mean? To
We took longer to make the 2 subs than were added on because of them.
Did the linesman give a penalty or a foul outside the box? At the time I was convinced the linesman flagged for a foul as he did not put his flag across his chest to signal a penalty. After discussions they obviously agreed initial contact was outside but the foul continued into the box making it a penalty- so the ref did kind of give it as the linesman didn't.
I haven't seen it since though.
Good read bob. One tiny comment - I thought preston's keeper was anders lindegaard and not anders lindgaard
I also thought malone had a good game getting up the left flank. Perhaps having ralls there allows that part of bis game to flourish
Good read. One tiny comment- I thought our left midfielder was Ralls and not rally.

Just watched the Sky highlights and you may be right because the first contact was just outside the penalty area, but Lawrence was still being impeded inside the area.
Exactly, but some people are still looking to make Slade the escape goat.To break the game up. What does that even mean? To
